background

history

During the first decade of the 21st century, thoughts arose about a new stadium for Kalmar FF. In autumn 2006 the association finally published the final design for the arena to be built in the following years. After an investment partner had been found in the real estate company Sveafastigheter , completion and the first game for summer 2008 was assumed in February 2007. However, the start of construction was delayed due to several lawsuits, in particular concerning the participation of the municipality in the building. In August 2008, the construction company Peab was commissioned with the construction work, but the next lawsuit was pending only a short time later.

In March 2009, pointed Kammarrätt of Jönköping from the last action, so that a completion of the venue was promised by 2011. An appeal against this decision was lodged with the next instance, but the appeal was dismissed by the Regeringsrätten in July of that year . A week earlier, however, Sveafastigheter had left the project and a replacement for Peab as a construction company was necessary. This task was taken over by the Swedish company NCC , under whose management the groundbreaking ceremony took place in December 2009.

In June 2010, the local food manufacturer Guldfågeln signed a contract with the operators to use the arena's naming rights. The contract, valid from 2011, guarantees the company the use of the stadium's name until 2017 and includes an option for an extension.

Location and facilities

The stadium was built in the Bilen district and offers space for 14,000 spectators at football matches. At international meetings, the capacity is reduced to 11,800 by converting standing to seating. All grandstands are covered. There are 15,000 seats available for concerts. The construction costs are around 250 million SEK . After the completion, the Kalmar FF club left its previous Fredriksskans stadium .
